Diversity and inclusion is absolutely relevant to football! Growing the game amongst women/indigenous Australians/ethnic minority groups or basically anyone not traditionally represented in football only benefits the game.because they are non footballing irrelevant matters
focus on football
Besides, every single club, i.e., the 17 teams who performed better than us this year, has diversity objectives. It's not the reason we're crap now and it won't be what holds us back from succeeding again

time to return the traditional Richmond yellow
where are the gay/lesbian/trans/they/thems
im offended
at least use our name. dont umbrella
All that shit doesn’t mean shit when our principal business has been an absolute failure.
Women, ethnic backgrounds, gay, lesbian, Transgender people won’t support loser teams. It’s about winning football games. End of. The rest is bullshit tied up with politics.
These guys got an absolute barrel from me too captain blood 17 - those words look very similar.

Why is it always either one or the other?
How does a couple of diversity questions, or them spending a small amount of attention to it stop us from being the best?
We were pretty woke during our flag years too, didn't stop us winning 3.

Pretty simplistic view when they have dedicated funds and concentration more heavily on their football. Unlike what we have been doing.
I’m hoping our new CEO has identified this. That survey was putrid.

We spend every moment of our working lives living amongst pronouns, protests etc etc. All we see on social media and news is anger, frustration, identity politics etc. Can we not just have footy for 3 hours a week. A small release to remove our frustrations. Laugh, cry, etc etc. I love our work with the Allanah Madelaine Foundation and other things. They are great and noble causes. But, it shouldn't over ride the one thing we do which is love and support the team.
I see diversity and inclusion is a big messaging part of the Tigers these days. I ask this, when was ANY football club not welcoming of all walks of life? I don't recall a banner at Punt rd in 1994 saying whites great, the rest of ya f.... off and support the dogs. That's the beauty of sport. We all watch it. Support it. Connect with it. We don't need a ****in policy on it or a dick measuring contest to see who can be the most diverse etc. Just get on with it.

My point again is this. When were we not ever an inclusive supportive club? When were we not welcoming to all communities? I don't think having gay supporters or people of other races is a particularly new phenomena to Richmond or any club. Pretty sure they have been supporting footy forever.

Bottom line is if we get it right on the footy field, play an exciting brand of footy and start competing in finals people will come in droves to watch and memberships, crowds and merchandise sales will soar.
Get it wrong and become a cellar dweller for another 37 years and income will plummet. The football department is the only important thing. We are a footy club FFS.

Not being actively bigoted is a pretty low bar for inclusion
I’d say for people of those diverse groups being acknowledged and spoken about and being felt as seen and belonging without having to be quiet about who they are helps grow the passion they feel for the club. Then when others of similar backgrounds see that they see sport as a safe place for them to be and the sport grows
Prime example is Bachar Houli. By your suggestion he should have simply been quiet about his faith and played sport and not bothered us about it. Instead he was proud of who he was spoke up, became a leader and we have his institute and surely a shit tonne more supporters from his faith that we wouldn’t have had without him
Inclusivity is good for the AFL and good for Richmond

I totally understand and respect your POV. I"ll try another way, is the balance on messaging and off field programs and other inclusive messaging about right to you, too much or we could do more? And the other frustration some of us have is Richmond, put the ****ing hand away. The supporters aren't an ATM. There's a thought out there we are just more of a marketing strategy now than a supporter base.

No one is saying that's a bad thing. Good luck to them. But, is there a chance we can just go to the footy and escape for 3 hours without messaging?Sydney Swans renew commitment to diversity

catering to the woke minority does more damage than good, the majority could be turned off as a result
why cater for a small minority of easily misguided fools ?

The current ground is same dimensions as Marvel ... hasn't helped us get a win there ... it is all hyperbole and a giant waste of money ... redesign the project to fit the funds available
No you are right ... the correct answer is non-binary
